"You can certainly honor tradition, but incorporating modern elements—like releasing butterflies at the ceremony’s end, or performing a handfasting ritual—can beautifully blend the old with the new. These timeless practices, combined with fresh touches, create a truly spiritual and memorable wedding experience."
"Introducing a truly magical touch to your wedding: the release of butterflies! Choose between graceful Painted Ladies or majestic Monarch butterflies to add wonder and symbolism to your ceremony. Please note that these butterflies must be ordered in advance, and there’s an additional charge for the butterfly box and handling."

You don't have to be Irish to add the Celtic Knot to your ceremony. Like handfasting ceremony is a beautiful and unique way to represent your union in a symbolic wedding . You may choose your colors and tie the knot at your ceremony as bride & groom also added children to the braid.
Handfasting ceremony is a beautiful and unique way to represent your multi-faith weddings or non religious wedding ceremonies. Many like to add this for their union and honoring cultural heritage. You may use a family scarf handed down, or one you have chosen for the ceremony.
Some families have traditional quilts and blankets that have been used in their symbolic wedding now pass down to their children. Always a lovely touch of blending family together.

During the final moments of a symbolic wedding ceremony, the groom breaks a glass (usually wrapped in a cloth napkin or bag to avoid injury!) with his right foot. The couple will then usually kiss, and guests shout “Mazel Tov!” meaning “Congratulations!”
Many new traditions have been added over the years for symbolic weddings and ceremonies to make them different and extra special. This makes more memories for the bridal couple, their families and friends. Perhaps you would like to add one of these or create your own.
I created this symbolic wedding addition to add two families and their children together and they join families. Each member chooses a ribbon color, and the family gathers to braid together in the service and tie the knot. Special blessing will bring loving unity to the blending of the families at the ceremony. This can be for both non religious wedding ceremonies and multi-faith weddings,
A Love Letter and Wine Box ceremony will serve as a lasting reminder of the commitments made to one another. Heartfelt letters, encapsulating your thoughts and feelings are locked away in a wine box to be revealed several years into your marriage. Whiskey, Scotch or Tequila can easily be switched out for the wine. Symbolic wedding additions depends on the bride and grooms' choice.
